Reducing network service scan time by a wireless communication device

摘要

A method for reducing network service scan time by a wireless communication device is provided. The method can include the wireless communication device determining a location of the wireless communication device. The method can further include the wireless communication devices selecting a subset of RATs supported by the wireless communication device based at least in part on the location of the wireless communication device and on deployment mapping information. The selected subset can include only one or more RATs indicated by the deployment mapping information to be deployed in the location of the wireless communication device. The method can further include the wireless communication device performing a service scan for at least one RAT included in the selected subset. Any RAT of the RATs supported by the wireless communication device that is not included in the selected subset can be excluded from the service scan.

1. A method for reducing network service scan time by a wireless communication device, the method comprising the wireless communication device:
determining a location of the wireless communication device; selecting a subset of a plurality of radio access technologies (RATs) supported by the wireless communication device, and for each selected RAT at least one deployed band, based at least in part on the location of the wireless communication device and on deployment mapping information, the selected subset comprised only of one or more RATs indicated by the deployment mapping information as deployed in the location of the wireless communication device; and performing a service scan for at least one RAT included in the selected subset only on deployed bands, wherein any RAT of the plurality of RATs supported by the wireless communication device that is not included in the selected subset is excluded from the service scan.
